What is the use tax rate?

The Illinois Use Tax rate is 6.25 percent on purchases of general merchandise, including automobiles and other items that must be titled or registered. The use tax rate is 1 percent on purchases of qualifying food, drugs, and medical appliances.  These rates are identical to the state sales tax rates. 

See Illinois Administrative Code, Section 150.105, Section 130.310, and Section 130.311.
